The Mysqldumpsplitter can extract database, table, all databases, all tables or tables matching on regular expression from a mysqldump. It can produce the compressed output of sqls in specified directories.
The tool has undergone a complete rewrite, and there are many more functionalities added. Please follow GitHub Repository for future changes or further improvements.
Download the MySQL Dump Splitter utility from GitHub Repository.
I have prepared a separate blog post to getting started with the mysqldumpsplitter. It’s a sort of guide for doing required and possible operations with the mysql-dump-splitter script. Read the mysqldumpsplitter recipe blog post here.
Current Mysqldumpsplitter version is 6.1.
Watch the video of mysqldumpsplitter in action (Ver 4.0):
– I will provide more videos with latest version.
Suggestions are welcome. I’ll update it whenever time permits.
